The original Creekwalk was established in 2006. Since then, the nature trail has been expanded multiple times so that it connects across Bridge Street and runs through the Creekwalk Garden near Main Street.

The current expansion, which was funded by a $14,350 grant through ADECA's Recreational Trail Program, takes the path to a wooden bridge constructed by the city on Doster Road.

City officials and committee members hope the Creekwalk, which runs along the Autauga Creek and stretches to half a mile, will eventually run the length of the creek's canoe trail.

"This is just another phase of a project that got started a long time ago," said Mayor Bill Gillespie Jr. "This is, I'm hoping, going to be a continuation for many years to come. "
